Career Connections Presents – Volunteering: A Doorway to Employment

Thanks to those who attended Career Connections Presents – Volunteering: A Doorway to Employment! During the presentation, we discussed how volunteering might be a valuable addition to standard job searching activities.

Volunteering gives you the opportunity to:

Expand your social circles and create more networking opportunities

These networking opportunities can lead you to potential job openings, within or outside the volunteer organization, and have your supervisor serve as a professional reference

Learn new and develop existing skills, such as customer service, project planning, communication, or problem solving

Learn more about a specific job or field that you are interested in to determine if you should commit your time to pursuing a new career

Add work experience to your resume to demonstrate the necessary skills you will need in a new job or help fill in gaps of employment to show that you are motivated and active
